Things got heated between former NBA players Dwight Howard and Lance Stephenson. Both players were ejected from the BIG3 season opener after getting into a physical altercation.
In a now-viral video, Howard and Stephenson’s fight erupted and made its way to the media section behind one of the basketball baskets. The fight began after Stephenson hit Howard in the chest with his elbow, which caused him to react.
They both began to push each other before taking their fight to the media section, where they both fell over. Officials stepped in to separate the two legends and then ejected them from the game. Although they were ejected from the game, Stephenson’s Miami team went on to beat Howard’s Los Angeles team, 50-44.
Reports reveal that before the game, Lance Stephenson had been in another altercation with Jordan Crawford. Crawford allegedly hit Stephenson in the face, and Stephenson punched him. The altercation was resolved and did not result in anyone being ejected from the game.
